The next night, I made a couple Manhattan's with the WT101 for some company and myself. We all agreed the WT101 was too strong, and threw off the balance of the drink. At this point, I prefer the JB White for a Manhattan.

Re: What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Spring 2008

While out shopping this past weekend, I finally ran across some OGD 114 in my area! I had already had my mind set on the WT 101 so I passed on the OGD this week. When the WT is gone, OGD will be mine! I have heard it was high rye, which I like and am looking forward to enjoying it soon!

If you can locate some Rittenhouse Rye in your area, that is the best stuff for making a Manhattan. If you cannot find Rittenhouse, try Fighting Cock(a bit on the hot side) or Old Grand Dad, anything with a high Rye content. Just don't go by way of a Canadian Whiskey to get the rye flavor, it's not there.
